Ampicillin, Sodium Salt

Ampicillin Sodium Salt is a broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic belonging to the penicillin class. It inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), leading to cell lysis and death. Its sodium salt form enhances solubility in aqueous solutions, making it suitable for laboratory and microbiological applications.

In research and laboratory settings, Ampicillin Sodium Salt is commonly used for antimicrobial susceptibility testing, bacterial growth studies, and the preparation of selective media. It is also widely employed in molecular biology for the selection of bacteria carrying plasmids with ampicillin resistance markers.

This product is intended for laboratory research use only and is not for human or veterinary therapeutic applications.
